Best of luck Craigy, hope you do better than i've done so far!

I'm not great at e-mails bud but my mobile is 00353863754607. You can text me anytime mate or I'm available tomorrow if you want to chat? Richie

Turbocraigy I can't pm you but if you look in my clocks for £659 thread, i replied to you stating that " my man" was from Blackpool and has left an address on the back of my parcels. If I were you I'd subscribe to this forum as the help and support i've received has been tremendous. Plus i'll be able to pm you his address!! Richie

He's been in his mates car and they're fine!!! That sounds like a great endorsement :thumbdown: I'd be sending them back! If you're really after them i'd be asking what engineering co. did the work and is there a receipt of the work carried out for confirmation purposes. Just my opinion but I'd send them back.

I've recieved a pm from redbaron saying he was onto Royal Mail yesterday, he has some paperwork to fill in and it is in their hands??

Well he was on the forum last night and never bothered posting anything up, or replying to either Znuts or my pm's :censored: I never got the chance to ring him today but its at the top of my list for tomorrow, I don't mind if I just get the parts i paid for, if not i'll be demanding a full refund of 763 euro and he can have his converted jap clocks back!

TurboCraigy, the address on my parcel says Blackpool?? I have a full address on the parcel but don't think I should post it right now, as Brian is trying to sort it out.

Si, can you pm me?? I need to know what i'm dealing with. Richie

I'll be ringing him personally tomorrow. No texts, no messing just straight talk!! Thanks Gary, thanks Groover and thanks znut (Brian) Richie

Thanks Brian, but as he stated in his "gto parts for sale thread" he's not going to have any internet after last weekend ie 21st/22nd. so I reckon we're wasting our time sending him Pm's. What would other members do in this situation??

He put it up himself in his For Sale thread " Some Mitsubishi GTO parts" Sorry if i'm causing you a headache Groover, znut was onto you before regarding the empty parcel bud, remember when we were looking for the weight of standard clocks, that's what this is all about, the clocks arrived a few days later but no rail or injectors.. Richie

Hey Brian, as you know for the last month i've been extremely patient and diplomatic giving the benefit of doubt to Phillip, at this stage he thinks he's the injured party, i've nothing to show for my money, he has the money in his a/c and i've a set of poxy jap clocks that were supposed to be UK spec, I didn't even mind that as long as my fuel rail and injectors arrived. There's no way in hell a used set of injectors wouldn't leave newspaper stinking of petrol. I've bought 750cc RC injectors for the Evo and they came in the original plastic case with the foam padding, wrapped in copious amounts of newspaper and bubble wrap and the whole parcel was reaking of petrol. I'm an easy going guy and get on with everyone but i won't be made a fool of. I'm the one asking people if they got the parts by mistake and making all the phone calls! It's up to him to find these things not me, he's responsible for the items posted so he should be doing all the running around!! I'm sick of this s**t, I love coming on the forum and watching the banter, I've dealt with Yassa, Jimmytt, Zed-sean, Jaffaz32 and others (sorry GibsterTT) etc and we've all gotten on grand. It really pains me that this happens to people, it destroys trust in clubs and sites. Where should I go from here?? Has Dazvert looked at this thread, can he shed any light on this matter if he knows this person personally? ( sorry to bring you in on this dazvert, but i'd like to know)

His mobile no. is Have a look at my other thread "£659.94 for a set of clocks" and give me your opinion. Thanks Richie

I'm not after a witch hunt bud, he seemed genuine enough, i reckon he sent them elsewhere by mistake maybe?? he did send a lot of stuff but he seems to have taken offence to me questioning him regarding my parts. HAS ANYONE RECEIVED PARTS THAT THEY DIDN'T ORDER FROM HIM IE. MY FUEL RAIL AND INJECTORS. I PAID FOR THESE ITEMS, so if someone received them by mistake and has not said anything it's a bit unfair. The parcel he sent me only cost £10 so I reckon it would've cost more than this if the fuel rail + injectors were inside. Has anyone any idea what should be done next?? He did say in one of his For Sale posts that he wouldn't have internet or landline and left his mobile no. Im not going to be out of pocket by £659.94 (763 euro) with nothing to show for it!!

Hi guys, as some of you are aware I bought some parts off a member here. These were to include.... 1. A brand new Border Fuel Rail with 550 injectors. £350 2. A set of mark 2 series clocks with plasma dials. £100 3. A set of silver faced dials brand new and unused. £140 4. A set of TT decat pipes with silencers used for 500 miles. £70 Now I put dibs on the Fuel Rail + injectors and clocks on Dec 29 I PM'd the person and asked were the series 2 clocks UK spec as I had been looking for UK spec for some time. I was told that as far as he knew they were UK spec and he had changed the dials in them some time previous and hadn't got round to fitting them. I told him i'd take them if they were definitely UK spec and I'd also take the silver dials as i didn't like the plasma ones. I definitely mentioned that if the clocks were not UK spec, i'd only take the silver dials as I could convert my own Jap clocks. Anyhow I sent this person 763 euro by bank transfer for the above mentioned parts on 25th Jan, the bank teller told me that 763 euro would equate to £659.94. On the 29th Jan I recieved a pm saying he'd recieved £639.01 which was not the agreed amount (his words) I informed him what the bank teller had said and he asked for the postal address without further comment, which I gave him. He informed me that he'd posted the clocks and dials on 1st Feb and was looking for a box for the injectors and fuel rail (i thought this was odd as I would have posted everything in one parcel to save on postage), he also said i'd have to send him more money to cover the cost of posting the decat pipes as it was too expensive for him. On 6th Feb I recieved a parcel posted on 2nd Feb which was extremely well wrapped with packaging tape but had nothing in it but fresh newspaper and a small square of bubble wrap:closedeyes:. This was an Airsure Priorty parcel which had cost £10.02 to post, it weighed 450g as it was with just paper. I told him this and gave him the tracking no.LY52057307 7GB on 7th, He said he would get onto the post office on the 8th Feb. On the 9th I recieved another parcel which cost £19.99 with tracking no. CP670947322GB, This parcel contained the clocks and dials:whistling:. Upon examining the clocks there is some masking tape on the top with "UK mk 2 PCB and Trip" with about 1" ripped off and under this writing is "Jap TT mk2 clocks + "with 1" of the label ripped off also. ie. they are JAP clocks:sad:. I pm'd him saying i'd recieved the clocks and how'd he get it sorted but got no reply regarding same. On the 18th Feb I pm'd him asking when would I get the rail and injectors to which he replied he'd already sent them and that i'd recieved them, I told him that i'd recieved nothing else and could I get the tracking no. which he gave as LY52057307 7GB (the empty parcel). He has since gone off the forum for whatever reason but left me his phone no.07946703969, I texted him last night asking had he any info regarding my parts, He replied that he'd sent me a pm(which i had received) with the tracking no. and that he had records that it had been delivered (The empty parcel) and I should get onto Customs as they were opening parcels. I asked him to check if he may have sent the parts to someone else by mistake?? He got all defensive and said that mine was the only parcel that had been messed up and he had sent many parcels that week with high value items and all had arrived safely with the exception of mine which was International. He mentioned Daz Vert had seen the receipts of postage. Now i'm not pointing the finger but he has receipts for 2 parcels which both arrived at my house, neither had been tampered with, one was just full of newspaper and the other had the clocks. I used to work for the Post Office and know if customs opened a package they send a form to the Post Office requirng extra payment etc. I now work for the Dept. of Justice and have been doing so for the last 8 years and have spoken to customs through contacts. The parcels were both un-opened. Did anybody who bought parts off Redbaron receive a Fuel Rail and 550cc injectors by mistake as, so far I've paid £659.94 for a set of converted Jap clocks(which I didn't want) and a set of silver dials:angry:. If you can shed some light on these problems I would be most grateful, What do you guys think, as i'm going to be looking for a full refund if it is not sorted soon. I'd also like to point out that I've bought parts from a lot of members on this forum and have no complaints, these parts have come from all over England and I've also recieved numerous parcels from the U.S. where customs have been involved and all arrived safely. I've also bought lots of parts for my Evo 8 off the guys on the MLR and all arrived without drama. Has anyone else had problems buying off REDBARON, please share your experiences. Thanks for reading, any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Richie K

Thanks for that Brian, did you get my last pm?? Thanks Richie

What i'm saying is that people sometimes put too much faith in website security and end up posting personal info that can be used. Only last month didn't it open everyones profile to the public:no: and people had to reset their privacy settings:blush:. I deal with human parasites everyday and you'd be shocked by the stuff they've done to people. I wouldn't let my children play in the front garden for years as it was too close to a main road where they could be taken and thrown into a car! People are too trusting and think it will never happen to them. Maybe the job has me paranoid, but just because you're paranoid doesn't mean their not out to get you:shifty:.

Hi guys, This is wrecking my head, so does anyone know of Redbaron personally??? He's mentioned a few names in texts to me regarding my parcel and was hoping to contact someone that knows him?? Thanks Richie

That weight would cost me between £14 and £44 depending on class:thumbdown:

I personally wouldn't let any child up to the age of 18yrs use any of those chat rooms. It can lead to Bullying and even worse (predators can view your info and pretend to be kids etc) There are some truly nasty people in this world who are willing to exploit these sites to groom youngsters, even if monitored !! Just my opinion.

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me the weight of a Border Fuel Rail and Nismo 550 injectors?? I'm having a slight problem with a parcel that arrived with nothing but newspaper in it:no:, I'm of the opinion that the items were not placed in the parcel as there is no smell of petrol and used injectors would leave a faint smell on newspaper:huh:. I'm not accusing anyone of inappropriate behaviour but feel that the items may have been placed in someone elses parcel as he sent a few at the time. He is of the opinion that the customs opened the parcel but the parcel was securely wrapped with no sign of tampering( I work for The Dept. of Justice and know a thing or two:wink: ) The parcel price to post to Ireland was £10 approx. this was for a box of newspaper, so I'm asking would anyone know the weight of the above items so as to get a price from Royal Mail for postage, thus letting me know if the items were really present at the time of posting, A bit long winded I know but this is going on since the 5th of Feb:no:. Thanks in advance.. Richie

Thanks for the help guys, Problem is now sorted. Richie

Thanks guys, I really need to get the exact weight as I'm in a bit of a fix,Can anyone help me?? Richie

Sorry guys, I need the weight in grammes or kilo's as i need to check something with Royal Mail. Thanks Richie

Can anyone tell me the weight of a set of Clocks ( speedo cluster)?? Need this to sort out postage costs Thanks guys Richie
